Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have recently changed my router to a Virgin media superhub. This has obviously changed my network details. I had 2 wireless printers running on my old network. ?I have managed to get one working as it has a menu screen on it and it was just a matter of searching for the new network. My second printer, a HP 1102w does not have a menu just buttons. I cannot get my Mac to see it in any of the preference options
Please carefully read Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support
Check the setup section in the instructions for the printer. Chances are it is not connecting to the new router.
I have done both suggestions. I have been onto HP website and followed step by step instructions going through the print queue and wireless settings, everything seems to be in order but as soon as I unplug the USB the printer goes offline.
maybe the features of the usb port is controlled by the routers setup page most routers have some ip address you type into a browser and login to the router to set them up try that
because some routers have usb for external hd some for printers some only for firmware updates (like the Apple TV (which of cause are not routers but have usb connector for the sole purpose of upgrading a crashed firmware))
can't find wireless printer after changing router
